Beauty and function merge in a revolutionary way in our new Bloodgood Japanese Maple Living Tree Chair. The Bloodgood Japanese Maple, already a regal Tree in its natural form, becomes the crown jewel of your landscape with this fascinating treatment. We’ve shaped the classic specimen Tbyree into a living, leafing, photosynthesizing patio chair! Imagine sitting comfortably in it as if you were on a throne, running your hands along the strong, smooth branches, and watching the royal red leaves flutter overhead. This is backyard relaxing at its finest, and you won’t find it anywhere else.

Growth Facts

The Story

You’ve heard of the “slow food” movement? Well, this may be what you’d call “slow furniture.” Our unique Bloodgood Japanese Maple Living Tree Chairs are not churned out within the walls of a factory somewhere, but are handcrafted one-by-one at our nursery in the great outdoors. Our growers carefully guide each young Maple Tree into the proper form using ancient techniques handed down through generations of tree-sculpting artisans. The training process is simple but time-consuming, and you’ll find no one growing these incredible living chairs besides Bower & Branch. We’re thrilled to finally be able to offer you this amazing and practical product of a remarkable collaboration between Man and Tree.

The Details

Bloodgood is one of the most popular Japanese Maples in the world, valued for its vibrant leaves, which emerge a dazzling red in spring. They may turn more of a bronzy green in the heat of the summer, but the rich red color returns in fall. You can watch the show all year from your cozy seat underneath the canopy!

How to Grow

Your Bloodgood Japanese Maple Living Tree Chair will prefer a site that receives a bit of shade during the hottest part of the day and moist, well-drained soil. This special tree will be professionallyplanted by a trained Living Tree Chair technician from your local Bower & Branch™ member Garden Center. Purchase of the Tree will also include six visits from a technician to ensure that your Tree is properly installed and established in your landscape, so that you may enjoy it for years to come. Upon planting, the Bloodgood Japanese Maple Living Tree Chair will be able to hold at least 250 pounds, and after one year in your landscape, there are no weight restrictions. We recommend purchasing a Bower & Branch™ Tree Chair Saddle to make your Living Tree Chair experience fully satisfying.
